Hi, can you please give a full hardware/software detail on wich PC are you running scribus?
I'm using it on an: AMD Athlon (Barton) 3000+ (2200MHz) 1Gb PC3200 400MHz DDR-SDRAM (2x512Mb Kingston ValueRAM) 80Gb SATA Hard Drive MSI KT6 mainboard (MS-6712) Generic Nvidia 6600GT AGP8x 256Mb Video Card. You can see i have not a current generation computer. Please, note that something as simple as using a different motherboard on MY system can make it go in a performance loss of 60% (that is a 3 to 1 relation) I'm a Hardware specialist and i can assure (ensure?) you that performance difference between motherboards can go as far as 6 to 1 loss (or even worst). I am currently using Scribus 1.3.3.10svn as fast as 1.3.3.9 and making 16 pages (8 to 16 pictures/page) catalogs wich open in less than 1 minute. I?m using pictures in png format (as i couldn't use transparency from .gif imgs), several svg imported logos, text frames, picture frames modifyed for text surrounding pictures and i can't see a real performance issue yet. See that 500Mb RAM is not a correct memory ammount, you may be using 504 or 496 mb, wich tells me you are using an 8 or 16Mb onboard videocard, wich lets you on a very old computer and 8/16Mb is far less that needed for managing images the size you are, perhaps an M805/810/825/840 Pcchips mainboard (or similar) with an athlon or duron CPU or equivalent mainboard for PIV. Maybe a PIII ?.. Can you please give that detail?...
